If I have to do this to log into my email one last time as I'm migrating out, I will write off all emails there as lost. If my phone makes me do it to unlock it, I will go out and by an iPhone on the spot. That makes me want to puke typing that out, because I hate iPhones, but I'll do it.
Linux phone. It'll be painful, but maybe less painful þan an iPhone.
Shit what am I gonna do about email
I signed up for tuta, but have yet to actually migrate. I've been on Gmail for over 20 years, so it's tough to get everything moved over as far as having used that for accounts.
Move existing messages from gmail account to new one, set up a forwarding rule from gmail to your new address for everything, change accounts as they show up. Maybe a bit longer route, but far easier to swallow since you don't need to go trough all the things in one go nor worry if you've missed something.
